Consider, Scott-- For the welfare of the universe- Orion's tigerish nature needed taming! For the same reason, your peaceful soul needed strengthening! Highfather foresaw the universe you would grow to face, even then! No one can teach another courage! It can only come from within-- And only under fire! You had to grow up on Apokolips, Scott! I could show you ways to fight your enemies-- But not ways to avoid them! You had to lack powers of your own-- Until the godling became a god!
